Chapter 310 – Losing Means a Spanking

Seeing the confusion on Ling Mo’s face, Xia Na explained, “Both of my personalities have been retained, but human thoughts and zombie thoughts really can’t fully merge.”

“Can’t merge? Does that mean… devoured?”

Ling Mo grew tense again. Everything he had done was to avoid such a situation.

Perhaps the mutated Xia Na wouldn’t understand this sentiment, but Ling Mo always believed that if it were the pre-infection Xia Na, she would also find it unacceptable to suddenly lose a part of herself.

Protecting them to the greatest extent, Ling Mo felt this was what a man should do for his woman.

Seeing the anxiety in Ling Mo’s eyes, Xia Na shook her head, “It’s not devouring, it’s more like they coexist in the same consciousness cluster. There’s no feeling of splitting, but also no complete fusion. If I had to describe it, it’s like a state of coexistence. They won’t argue anymore, and there won’t be two voices in my head.”

Noticing that Ling Mo still didn’t quite understand, Xia Na smiled, “So now my situation has become very strange. For example, right now, I feel like my zombie nature is completely suppressed, with no aggressiveness, but…”

As she spoke, her pupils slowly turned blood-red, a color so eerie that looking at it for too long would make anyone feel disoriented.

Simultaneously, the corners of her mouth lifted, and her entire demeanor underwent a drastic transformation.

Even though her expression hadn’t changed from a second ago, Ling Mo felt as if the temperature around them had dropped several degrees, and his entire body seemed to be locked in place, as if making any sudden movement would immediately provoke an attack.

The pressure of a Leader-Level Zombie! Like the natural pressure a higher organism exerts over a lower one!

At this level, humans were indeed lower organisms in comparison.

“In this state, I am a complete zombie. I will smile while tearing apart all enemies before me. No hesitation, no fear, craving the taste of blood…”

Xia Na slightly bared her teeth, revealing her pristine white teeth.

Ling Mo stared at her blankly, then couldn’t help but clutch his stomach and laugh. “So, once you enter zombie mode, Black Na automatically takes over? Got it…”

While Ling Mo was still laughing hysterically, Xia Na suddenly hugged him tightly.

“Thank you. There are so many things I want to thank you for, and this time is no different… Although I don’t really care now, if I had truly lost a part of myself…”

But halfway through her sentence, Xia Na pinched Ling Mo’s waist. “How could you do such things to me in the Psychic Realm? Do you know how much it hurt! The Psychic Realm doesn’t let me enjoy pain; it reflects my consciousness. At least in my human consciousness, pain is hard to endure. And in my Psychic Realm, pain is replicated one hundred percent!”

“Ah! It hurts… I didn’t have a choice!” Ling Mo grimaced. “But saying it hurt is a bit of an exaggeration!”

Xia Na’s eyes had returned to their normal color, and her face showed a mix of annoyance and embarrassment. “Hmph, I read online before that it hurts a lot during those times, like shoving a cucumber up your nose. So, my subconscious thought that way, and…”

“What kind of things have you been reading online…” Ling Mo was speechless.

The next day, Ling Mo couldn’t wait to take Ye Lian and the three girls out. He left Black Silk at home to watch the house.

They kept moving in the opposite direction of the station until they were about 2,500 meters away from the two zombie puppets.

This was Ling Mo’s current control range, though not yet at its limit.

If he disregarded the massive consumption of psychic power, he could actually extend this range to about 3,000 meters.

In areas dense with buildings, this was already a terrifying number.

It meant that Ling Mo could hide in a very safe place and kill without being seen.

The terror of a superhuman lay in their elusive attack methods, making it impossible for people to guard against them.

However, when facing hordes of zombies, Ling Mo’s advantage was not significant. He was, after all, still a human, and at his core, he was an ordinary person who feared bullets.

“There’s a middle school here. Since we’re here today, let’s practice our coordination. We also need to see how much Xia Na’s strength has improved,” Ling Mo briefly explained their goal for the day.

Ye Lian and Li Yalin were both curiously staring at Xia Na. She immediately showed a slightly strange expression, coughed, and said, “Why are you all staring at me…”

“Sure enough, once she regained her humanity, even if she doesn’t genuinely feel embarrassed, she still shows the appropriate reactions… When she’s not in zombie mode, she’s entirely the old Xia Na,” Ling Mo thought to himself.

“Actually, for coordination, we don’t necessarily need to fight together,” Xia Na suddenly said. “Did you forget that I studied martial arts? I know some tactics, and I’ve practiced coordinating with others.”

“Right, I forgot we have an expert right here. What do you suggest?” Ling Mo asked.

Xia Na nodded. “To both understand my current strength and practice coordination, how about this… let’s split into teams. I’ll team up with Ye Lian, and you team up with Li Yalin. Then we can have a match. Of course, you can’t switch perspectives, or we will definitely lose.”

“That… sounds good!” Ling Mo immediately agreed. This was indeed more efficient and more meaningful than simply fighting zombies.

“But if it’s just a simple match, it might be too boring. How about we also have a hunting competition? Before reaching the top floor of the school’s teaching building, the team that collects the most Virus Gel wins. Additionally, if an attack is deemed unavoidable and would cause a fatal injury, that person is considered out. I won’t actually strike down,” Xia Na said with a sly smile.

“But Li Yalin should still team up with you,” Ling Mo suddenly said.

“Wouldn’t that put you at a complete disadvantage?” Li Yalin giggled, reaching out to touch Ling Mo’s cheek. “It’s okay, I’ll take care of you. How about considering teaming up with me, Ling Mo?”

Even Ye Lian nodded, looking a bit worried. “They… they are both Leader-Level.”

Ling Mo smiled confidently. “I’m just trying to make the competition a bit fairer. Also, Senior Sister, why is your hand suddenly moving down there again? I knew your idea of ‘taking care of me’ had ulterior motives!”

“You’re so mean. You became my mate but won’t let me have children, and you refuse to mate with me anytime, anywhere…” Li Yalin said with a laugh. She looked so much like a seductive serpent spirit that Ling Mo couldn’t help but feel a wave of heat rise from his abdomen.

However, he still had some self-control. Now was definitely not the time for a wild encounter.

If he really fulfilled her every demand, he’d probably be drained dry by now. Even indulgence needs moderation.

“I’m human, not a zombie who can go at it three hundred times a day! And don’t think you can just have sex whenever you want because you’re a zombie. Right now, enhancing our strength is the priority! Lastly, it’s not my fault you can’t have children!”

How could it be my fault when the virus wipes out my descendants every time? Ling Mo thought sadly.

His firm stance made Li Yalin and Xia Na exchange a glance.

“Hehe, fine. But if you lose later, you have to listen to me tonight,” Li Yalin said, reluctantly removing her hand. Her look, as if she wanted to devour him, sent a shiver down Ling Mo’s spine.

Xia Na also smiled. “Ye Lian, you’ve reached the peak of being an Advanced Zombie. In terms of physical ability and combat skills, you should be on par with me, maybe even stronger. But if you lose, I’ll have to spank you.”

“Wh-why?”

“Because you’re the big sister!”

“Hey, don’t bully Ye Lian… Ah! Who pinched me?!”

As the only middle school in the vicinity, the school was large, and zombies were everywhere at first glance.

Ling Mo and Ye Lian climbed over a wall and landed in the grass next to the Laboratory Building.

He activated his psychic probe to quickly survey the inside of the Laboratory Building.

With his enhanced psychic power, his tentacles, when not materialized, could pass through obstacles much more effectively.

In the first and second floors of the Laboratory Building, there were some psychic light clusters. Some of them had weak fluctuations, indicating they were likely Mutation Zombies.
